The Problem: Superbugs on the rise

• Infection is the #1 cause of death worldwide and #3 in the USA

• 25 years ago 80% of infection was controlled by antibiotics

• Today, less than 50% of infections are controllable

• “Super bug” mutations have been caused by sterilants & chemicals

• Absenteeism due to sickness in USA costs $50bn per year

• Mold is more lethal than asbestos and more prevalent

• 80% of infections spread by human touch

Problem Areas

• Hi-Touch points: • Door handles, doors, desks,

cleaning equipment, toilets, medical equipment, walls, beds, bed linen, uniforms, towels, gym equipment, AC ducting, ceilings..........the list is endless

• 80% of infection spreads through touch-points

• Many touch points such as floors, ceilings, AC ducting are not cleaned regularly and become reservoirs for health-damaging bacteria

Microbial Attack

• Microbial growth is activated by high temperature and moisture

• Standard cleaning chemicals and protocols are short-lived

• Microbes rapidly adapt, mutate and multiply

• Chemical residues and dead microbes become food source for mutated, more resistant microbes

• Cleaning only with conventional chemicals causes a greater risk of microbe mutation!

Then continues to protect for up to 60 days

What is Invisible Shield?

Invisible Shield Protection is…

• EPA Registered

• Water based spray on antimicrobial protection

• Protectant for porous and non-porous surfaces

• Odorless & Colorless

• Highly durable

• A non-toxic technology once dry

• Prevents biofilm build-up

Invisible Shield Protection is…

• Non-leaching, mechanical method of efficacy

• Is an added level of protection against damaging microbes such as bacteria, mold & mildew

• Can be fogged, wiped, sprayed or misted

Features and Benefits

When Wet: Sanitizes with a 99.99% + kill rate

When Dry: Protects up to 60 days from microbial contamination

Forms a highly durable microscopic protective surface layer that is an invisible, odorless, colorless and non-toxic, “bed of nails” surface protectant

Features and Benefits

Continuously fights the growth of microbes that can cause stains, odors and product degradation.

The protection makes all surfaces that are treated easier to clean and keeps them cleaner and fresher between cleanings.

Features and Benefits

Protects and kills mechanically by puncturing the cell walls of microbes as they land, killing instantly, thus preventing a buildup of biofilm

EPA approved for child safe environments, including day care centers, educational facilities and hospitals

How does the “IS” protection work?

• The active ingredient in IS polymerizes to all surfaces and is both colorless and odorless.

• Think of IS as a layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane and the remnants are then electrocuted.

How does the “IS” protection work?

• Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial does not lose it’s strength and the sword is now ready for the next cell. • NOTE: Normal cleaning of the

treated surfaces is necessary in order for the “IS” antimicrobials to continue their effectiveness.

• Dirt buildup, paint, dead microbes, etc. can cover the treatment prohibiting it from killing microorganisms.

How it works

How it works?

Effectiveness: The molecule never releases itself from surfaces as all other antimicrobials do.

Durability: The product’s stable molecular structure results in a protectant that is permanent for the life of the product.

How it works?

• IS forms an almost permanent bond with the surface substrate.

• A ‘wheat field’ of carbon shafts protects the surface from microbes.

• Microbes are drawn to the ‘wheat field’ of shafts by the positively charged nitrogen atom.

• The microbe’s cell wall is ruptured by the shafts.

• A positive charge from the nitrogen atom delivers a fatal electrical charge to the cell wall of the microbe

How it works

Actual “IS” Molecule on Surface

Does “IS” work immediately?

• IS starts to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the treated surface.

• It then works continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden than would be expected on a surface without IS protection.

Why is “IS” different?

• IS is a dual action Sanitizer & Protectant

• The Sanitizer kills on contact chemically when wet

• When dry, IS is a biostatic surface protectant

• IS protects surfaces and textiles in between cleanings.

Why is “IS” different?

• Invisible Shield does not use:

• Leaching Poisons

• Heavy Metals

• Triclosans

• All of the products listed above can create superbugs and do not have a residual effect

How do you know “IS” is safe?

• IS technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use.

• It is registered with the EPA for all applications in which it used.

Invisible Shield can be fogged using:

Industrial or hand held fogging machines, misted using hand held misting bottles and pump sprayers, or it can be wiped on using a cloth.

No special clothing or equipment is required for the application although simple gloves and a paper mask can be used if required for prolonged applications

Applications

Coverage

Invisible shield is supplied in a concentrated form and is site diluted to a

128:1 solution with common water.

1 ounce of concentrate produces a full one gallon of ready to use product

which will give a coverage of approx 20,000 square feet, depending on the

delivery method

An average size facility of 3,000 square feet can be treated with less than 18 ounces of diluted product.

That equates to under $10 per application

Invisible Shield Summary

• IS has produced excellent results in independent performance testing – which means it is EFFECTIVE TO USE…

• IS has produced excellent results in independent toxicology testing – which means it is SAFE TO USE…

• Since IS does not use heavy metals, triclosans, phenols, or poisons, it is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY…
